Some years ago the late Henri Nouwen wrote of Christmas Eve:

What can I say on a night like this?  It is all very small and very large, very close and very distant, very tangible and very elusive.

This picture of a children’s nativity pageant in New Zealand sums it up for me.  What Christians celebrate at Christmas is a simple as child’s play and as profound as the deepest questions of life.  May each of us find in it God’s blessing.
